that is, the state forcefully privatizing collectively owned farms, forcing farmers to flee to the cities and work for capitalists or die
The people don't regulate the economy @The Electric Lizard
Lazze-Faire Capitalism
through what organization will the people regulate the economy
market transactions?
Honestly, do something like deregulate food?
They should and will if the Government stops it
Yeah it;ll get cheaper
But they don't. @The Electric Lizard
but you'll probably get ill
They will
What you're saying and what happens in practice are different.
De regulate cars
turn any city into bejing for smog
good one
Added extra.
Medieval Monarchies barely intervened in the economy and it worked to an extent
Except they were at war with themselves non stop
and others
however that was a mix of authoritarian regime too
and also in the middle ages there were intermediary organizations that intervened in the economy
like guilds
@The Electric Lizard and everyone was miserable except the nobles who could get away with anything they want
and property was often awarded based on service to the state
as in military service
Also in the middle ages we had things like...villains
Not comic book ones
people who were owned from birth by the lord of the manor
it's not really comparable to laissez faire capitalism too much, though you could say it's comparable to anarcho-capitalism in that the state itself was privately owned
That's just capitalism baby. It was an agreement between two peoples! @Joshu
Contract slavery is okay!
Don't get too happy
Just don't sign the contract!
Your ideology is at fault too
being a serf was often better than being a wage laborer
No no, mine is fine 🙂
though the degree to which serfdom sucked varied
It was the authortarianism of the lords that kept it going
among place and time
